I use linux becouse its stable and secure. The only downside I have ever found with it at all its the game issue. I have used windows, it allways gets bugs, crashes, gives me the blue screen of death, ect. Linux has never done anything like that. Hence why I use it. The game thing is not a must have for me, but would be nice.

My Windows 7 is just as stable, and probably more secure than your linux box =(

That’s it? I can name MANY reasons why windows is better than Linux!

You need to learn how to setup, tweak and configure your OS. I have had windows installed since 2009, still runs at peak performance, and never had 1 BSOD, ever!

Sounds like your a default and go kind of guy. If you don’t wanna take the time to configure windows, then yea, it will suck. But if you spend a little time setting up your OS, it will run just as good.

Don’t get me wrong, Linux has its purposes, there are many applications for Linux. But for a desktop user that plays games and goes to school and has a job where computers are used, Windows is by far a better option in every aspect.
If you need Linux, just run it in a VM in Windows side by side seamlessly.

SmAsHeDr:
I will not get into the whole linux vs windows debate. I was simply stating my personal expernices between bouth OS. I am not a noob or default kinda guy. I have been a self taught computer programmer for a long time now. As far as the points you where making about the tweaks and stuff in windows, I did have almost everything twiked to cater to my needs. Windows just simply has alot of trouble doing the things I need to do, and with its huge security issues, its not really safe to do any creditable work on.

The guy asked for help not an endless OS debate.
Linux is more stable than Windows. Simple as that. btw I am not a Linux fan. I had Kubtunu on on laptop and I sold it. Everything else I have has Windows.
